Dining Protection

Restaurants are adopting design solutions for dine-in experiences post-COVID-19

Trend - As government-imposed COVID-19 restrictions on non-essential businesses are eased, restaurants begin to reopen for dine-in experiences. Prioritizing safety concerns of both guests and staff, these establishments look for design solutions that can be applied in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Insight - Many have grown nostalgic about experiences that were made unavailable due to government-imposed COVID-19 measures. As these restrictions are gradually lifted, consumers become increasingly excited about the prospect of returning to pre-pandemic lifestyles. Many, however, are mindful of the health risk that exists outside of the home and as a result, are looking to engage in activities while respecting the guidelines for physical distancing and safety.
Workshop Question - How might your business adapt to guidelines for physical distancing in a post-lockdown environment?

2. Outdoor Dining - Businesses are exploring outdoor dining options to provide safer experiences for guests and employees.
3. Portable Privacy Solutions - The need for personal space separation in public spaces has increased the demand for portable privacy solutions.
Industry Implications

2. Office Space Industry - The office space industry can benefit from integrating portable privacy solutions to provide employees with a safer workplace.
